The Alliance Forces army, which rushed into the predetermined main battlefield from Western Theater, advanced all the way and soon joined forces with the established Dragonblight Southeastern Coast's New Hearthglen's Darion and Brigitte's troops gathered together, and Tirion Fordring and Mograine established Forward Base near Tomb of the Great Dark Beyond. This was also the result of negotiations between the major forces.
The base of Alliance Forces is arranged here to guard against Nerubians of Nerubian Capital, Azjol·Nerubian. This huge underground city has many places in the entire Northrend, but the largest one is located in Dragonblight's West, during the period when the dark forces of Ner'zhul were rampant, a Taunka village near this Great Underground Dwelling, Frostmist Village, had been completely destroyed, and it was also one of the forces of Nerubians.
And just like Human Alliance needs to guard against Nerubians, Horde Burning Legion, who arrived at Dragonblight three days earlier than Human Alliance, arrived at Wyrmrest Temple A base has been established in the mountains of Northeast. They want to clear out the huge amount of Undead that exists there and withstand the attacks from Wrathgate Angrathar's Undead army is attacking. The most important thing is to hold on there and ensure the smooth flow of the first-line waterway from Venture Bay to Lake Blue Sky. For a long time to come, this waterway will definitely be an important material transportation channel for both Alliance Horde.
The Burning Legion of Kingdom of Stormwind also rushed out from the mountains of Grizzly Hills, surrounded by those Undead Troll. They were stationed in Junction in the three areas of Dragonblight, Grizzly Cage and Zul'Drak, and established a church and Barracks named Holy Light's Hope. The main defense target was the huge number of Troll Undead that existed in Drak'Tharon Keep, and when necessary, support was in Zul'Drak. Southwest sticks to Knights of the Ebon Blade and Holy Light's Watch.
There are also Zandalari Trolls's troops there. Of course, they don't like to participate in the battles of the Alliance Horde, so most of them are working together with Northeast of Zul'Drak and China Unicom Drakkari Troll.
In this way, from En'Kilah, to Tomb of the Great Dark Beyond, to New Hearthglen, then to Orcs Fortress, and finally to Holy Light's Hope Church of Kingdom of Stormwind, the entire Northrend of One-third of the Territory has fallen into the hands of Civilized World. Of course, the war on the rear is far from over, but the formation of this Defensive Line is a strong blow to the newly awakened Lich King.
Azeroth was not as vulnerable as he imagined. In fact, when they united, the power that exploded forced Lich King, who was pouring death, to choose to retreat.
Of course, under the current circumstances, the rapid advance to Dragonblight in the early stage is already the limit. If you want to go forward, you must fight with the armies of Wrathgate Angrathar and Lich King. The closed Great Door is currently the only exit for Icecrown Glacier.
Although the Elf members of Quel'Thalas have found a path through Crystalsong Forest that can lead to Icecrown Glacier and Mountain Pass, it is too steep and is covered with heavy troops deployed by Lich King. It will take a lot of effort and time to get through. When the top management of Alliance Forces has already made a plan, spending huge efforts to get through there will be more than worth the gain.
It was under this circumstance that Baron·Derylek followed General Darion who was stationed at New Hearthglen and entered the Alliance fortress located at Tomb of the Great Dark Beyond. His eyes could not see anything, not because of injury, but because He was born blind, but for Baron, this is not a bad thing. He was born in the aristocratic family of Kingdom of Stormwind. Due to his eyesight, he developed a very indifferent character since he was a child. Finally, he entered Northshire Abbey and became a low-key Priest.
His Uncle is currently Silver Hand's famous "the Purifier" Derylek, a veteran and powerful Paladin. It is also for this reason that Baron just appeared in Northrend, and under the recommendation of the old marshal Windsor who had returned to Kingdom of Stormwind, he became one of the members to participate in "Trial" on behalf of Kingdom of Stormwind.
"Father, I'm back!"
Darion led Baron into the command tent. Old Mograine was facing away from them, carefully observing Map in front of him. The war against Undead made the old knight rejuvenate with unimaginable vitality. He seemed to have devoted everything to this war, like a blazing fire. Even if he was just close, it would make people feel burned.
Hearing Darion's voice, the old knight put down the deduction pen in his hand, turned around, and saw his youngest son. This son he once did not value, but now, he has used his own actual Operation to prove who is the leader of the next generation of Mograine family.
After Darion was knocked down by Gavincente, he came to Northrend. He participated in almost every battle on this frozen land. Not long ago, in the battle to build New Hearthglen, he faced Hero Death Knight, Scourge Lord Taelan alone. At the last moment, he broke through Heroic and drove away the death Lord.
At this point, Darion has completed the process from weak to strong, and he has also been recognized by Strom'kar again, taking one step further.
"Here you are, Darion, I heard about your fight in New Hearthglen... well done, my son!"
Mograine waved to Darion and Baron. Young Warrior also had a smile on his face. They sat down respectively. Mograine's attention was not on Darion, but on Baron.
"This... is Derylek's nephew? Kingdom of Stormwind's Candidates?"
Darion nodded and said in a deep voice,
"Marshal Windsor personally recommended Baron to me. His ability is very good and he is already qualified to participate in "Trial". Father, is Trial held here?"
Grand Knight shook his head, his eyes fell on Baron's closed eyes, he pondered for a moment, and replied in a low voice,
"Not here. The final Trial will be held at Wyrmrest Temple. This is the goodwill of Dragons and the convenience that Knight Dick has secured for us. For Mortal, this is a supreme honor. As for here... I have to determine whether these Candidates are qualified to enter it."
"Father!"
When Darion heard this, he felt that Old Mograine's tone was a little too hurtful, but the old knight raised his hand to signal him not to speak. He looked at Baron and said in a deep voice,
"Marshal Windsor is a respectable veteran, but he always starts from Kingdom of Stormwind when considering problems. Considering his position, this is understandable, but you have to understand one thing, Baron, this time Trial, is the whole Civilized World's desperate attack on Lich King can only win, not fail! I cannot allow any random guy to be among them. You must be the strongest, most capable, and least afraid of death in the entire Civilized World."
"Uncle told me the same thing, Grand Knight."
Baron was not angry because of Mograine's harsh tone. He said calmly, "I believe I am ready. Consecration is Expedition to Holy Light. This is the supreme honor of my generation!"
"Sounds like Fanatic."
Old Mograine smiled and his voice became deeper, "But I think you don't understand yet. The eyes of the whole world will be on you. In addition to Human World, there are also Elf, Dwarves, and Troll, and... those damn Orcs, you will eventually be separated Operation, the strongest army in the world will cover you, and everything you do in the war will be used as a certificate to divide Northrend after the war."
"Yes, it is not just glory, but also the game between country and country, power and power. In this battle, Human World must help each other. Regardless of whether you can become the ultimate Champion, I have only one request for you! You cannot lose to those Orcs bastards!"
The expression on Baron's face became stiffer. Obviously, this young man who had been immersed in the Holy Light file had never considered the problem from this aspect. Mograine's naked analysis caught him off guard, but thinking of Marshal Windsor's parting words, Baron finally understood the meaning of the old marshal's words.
Apparently, he had been kept in the dark.
A few minutes later, Baron breathed a sigh of relief and nodded,
"My father died in the battle when Stormwind City was breached. If possible, I don't want to lose to those Orcs."
Old Mograine nodded with satisfaction, and patted Darion on the shoulder.
"Okay, Baron, you can go to Candidate Area. You are about to perform your first mission."
"What?"
Darion asked curiously, Old Mograine chuckled, a trace of indifference and chill flashed through his eyes,
"Go deep into Azjol·Nerubian. Within one day, Baron must bring back three Crypt Lord Nerubians's Remains. Well... you can do it alone or in a team, but if you add one more person, the number of Remains will be increased by 5. Do you understand?"
"These... but his eyes..."
Darion was a little surprised by this harsh request. Hunt Three heads Crypt Lord Nerubians, for him, it is indeed not a difficult task, but for a blind man like Baron, going deep into the underground city of Azjol·Nerubian may be a bit...
But before Old Mograine could answer, Baron took the initiative to speak,
"It's okay, General Darion. Although I lost my eyes, the kind Holy Light gave me the ability to see the world more clearly. What I can do is that I just need soldiers to take me to Azjol·Nerubian."
The old knight stood up and waved his hand,
"The best Scout will accompany you. They will also be responsible for recording your achievements and rescuing you when you are about to be killed. I hope you will not use them. Oh, by the way, you can go to Quartermaster to receive a new set of equipment. This is the right of all Candidates."
Baron nodded towards the two Paladin, and walked out of the tent with his Blind Man's Cane, leaving only Darion and Mograine, father and son. Darion looked at the old knight, coughed solemnly, and said,
"Father, I have decided that I will participate in the event you mentioned last time!"
The old knight who had sat back at his desk was not surprised by his son's decision. He just looked up at his son, nodded, took out a document and looked at it. After a while, he drew a circle on it and said to him,
"Yes, you will be put into the team of Attack on the Shadow Vault, and your team members will be selected from these Candidates."
Darion's expression suddenly fell.
"Shadow Vault? Not Icecrown Citadel?"
The old knight shook his head, picked up Smoking Pipe from the table, and took a breath of smoke. When the mellow smoke covered his face, he spoke slowly,
"Of course not, Icecrown Citadel, that Dark Hell, that is the task of us old bones. We must consider the consequences of failure. If we fail, you Fresh Blood can at least be generals. The team brings back Eastern Kingdoms, or sticks to the current Defensive Line. We can die without worries, but you can't... My son, Dick once said something, which makes a lot of sense."
"This world is yours after all... If you win, everything will be fine. If you fail, you will take over our banner and prop up the entire human kingdom again... Not only you, Brigitte, but even Varian have the same task. We are Charge in front of Warrior. This time it is you who will hold the battle for us old guys."
Darion's expression suddenly became serious. From Old Mograine's words, he heard a different flavor. If this "Breaking the Ice" was just a plan at the beginning, then now, the entire Civilized World senior management has undoubtedly formulated a real plan.
They did not put all their bets on this surprise attack. On the contrary, they made very detailed plans to deal with the consequences if the surprise attack failed.
"Remember, my son, after defeating Shadow Vault, immediately take the Candidatess back to the battlefield of Dragonblight. After we leave, you must take over the command and nail Angrathar like nails, and then wait for our news!"
The old knight closed his eyes and said as if in sleep,
"Four Ziggurats is broken, Great Door of Dark Cathedral and Icecrown Citadel will be opened, that is what determines the world Fate The war is over, a battle where Heros from all over the world gather together, the final confrontation between light and darkness, justice and Evil... Well, for veterans, that is simply the most perfect grave."
